death too horrible to contemplate. An
examination before his body was
removed shows how, in his efforts to
gain his liberty, he had succeeded
in getting his razor from an inner
coat pocket and cut the earth and roots
on each side OF his body, but only on one
side of the tree that lay across him. 1t
seems from the appearance that these
endeavors continued for comparatively
long time, when despair took possession
of the poor victim, for q further exemina-
ton shovel his back to be broken, and
after his vain efforts to get loose he had
used the razor at first to cut the arteries
Of the wrist, and finsIly to cut his throat,
the result being of course death. In
this condition he was found by some
tremps. Lee was familiary known as
"Baldy."
